Hey, there was a thread posted a while back about solutions that people use to mount guages. That thread is here (too old to be revived): https://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/custom-vent-gauge-pod.379312/page-3#post-153719644
For some background, 3D designing, fabricating, and 3D printing is my job.
I want to keep a bit of functionality of these vents, but also make them useful and hold guages.
I took out my two vents and will be measuring them up to 3D print them so that they would be drop-in to the existing vent locations. The difference would be that I will be designing a hole in the middle of the vent to fit a guage.
The idea is that you can keep a bit of the stock look, keep the vents somewhat functional (no actuating left or right will be the only down-side), and add another convenient place for a guage. It would be directly bolt-in, with the only fabrication being however you wanted to do your wiring.
Would there be any interest in something like this?
I by no means put a lot of time into this concept design but below is something I whipped up to give you guys an idea.
